Visiting San Diego, I can say with confidence that the rest of the world is not up to real taco standards. That thing here rocks
A black and white drawing of three dachshunds arranged vertically, each holding a different optical illusion object in its mouth, and the dogs themselves drawn as if a single line optical illusion. The top dog holds a Penrose triangle, the middle dog holds a Necker cube, and the bottom dog holds a Penrose trident. The dogs’ bodies are elongated in an exaggerated cartoon style. The artwork is signed “@IndieTheIntrovert” in the bottom right corner.
Everyone stop, this is important
What does it mean when we say we understand mathematics and how will AI change all that?
I recently attended the workshop on the Cognitive Science of Mathematical Understanding organized by Tania Lombrozo and
Akshay Venkatesh, and summarized my experiences on my blog: gbalint.me/blog/2025/ma...
And now the propaganda rag "Magyar Nemzet" (along with other pro-Orban media) shared - then removed - a map containing the personal data, including the address, of the opposition supporters and activists whose data was stolen. Clear and brazen intimidation tactics.

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....
genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.
I had a long conversation with MIT Tech Review’s @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social about AGI; it fed into this very good read on the rise of AGI orthodoxy
Yeah that is true, although it hasn’t been the case more recently afaik: youtu.be/Whqs8v1svyo?...
Oh just wait until you see what they call cities in England: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
Cycling in Pittsburgh is great: the city is beautiful in the autumn colours, I never need to do cardio training again, and one may experience the "Pittsburgh left" which is when oncoming cars cut ahead of you at an unprotected left turn.

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.
TIL that the expression: constant == expression, is called a Yoda condition and it makes so much sense.

I just saw a recent @nature.com paper that designs parachutes by literally cutting hundreds of holes into a disc.
Inspired by kirigami, which is like origami but instead of folds you make cuts, if you cut a disc the right way, then you might just be able to jump out of a plane and survive.

Throw back to a cloud inversion on Beinn Eighe a year ago. If you have the chance, explore the Scottish Highlands!
Photo of the first question of the recent national consultation in Hungary.
The Hungarian government often mails people “National Consultations” paid for by taxpayers, asking violently condescending questions:
“Do you wanna raise taxes?”
A: “Yes, I like paying more to fund those who don’t work.”
B: “No.”
Then they use the results to fake support for their agenda…
Just came across this mesmerising art by Estampa of the components of GenAI interacting with humanity: cartography-of-generative-ai.net
Reminds me a little of Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler's Anatomy of an AI System: anatomyof.ai
Please share!
We have a number of fully funded PhD studentships in "Designing Responsible Natural Language Processing". I'm a possible supervisor & I'd be keen to support projects on sociolinguistics-AI, e.g., accent bias in AI, language+gender/sexuality+AI.

Ironically, the “AI scientist”-written paper that was accepted to an ICLR workshop was about LSTMs and the paper didn’t cite Schmidhuber. AI scientists should have a Schmidhuber agent that verifies these important details in the future.

Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death.

Having been playing The Art of Fauna while procrastinating, and it is the most relaxing game with beautiful illustrations of animals. I cannot recommend it enough: theartof.app/fauna/
For a week, we visited @iyadrahwan.bsky.social's Center for Humans and Machines in Berlin, where we have met an incredible array of interdisciplinary researchers.
Special thanks to @neeleengelmann.bsky.social for hosting us and @alice-ross.bsky.social for organising the trip from the start!
Have been neglecting Bluesky recently, so I am happy to share a big update 🎉
I will join @cmu.edu as a postdoc in September working with the incomparable @atoosakz.bsky.social and Nihar Shah on understanding risks from LLM co-scientists. If you are in Pittsburgh, I would love to connect!
